Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prīmus Annus: Vocābula Explicāta
When Primus Annus was first introduced into this country it was expected that an American edition would be necessary in order to make it fit the needs of American schools. During the last six years the book has been used with marked success in private and public schools in all sections of the United States. It seems to be the unanimous opinion of the teachers who have used it that no American edition is necessary. The book does not depend for its value upon local conditions it can be used perfectly well in any English-speaking country. It must be admitted, however, that for teachers who are limited to a four-year course or less, the lack of a latin-latin vocabulary has been a serious handicap. In England the students keep vocabulary note-books, and that custom has been followed to a certain extent here, but many teachers have found that the dictation of the words takes too much time, and that, if the classes are large, it is difficult to see that the note books are kept accurately. Again, inexperienced teach ers are deterred from trying the Direct Method, be cause they fear they cannot explain the words without resorting to English, unless they have had special training - courses in the Direct Method. This little volume has been prepared with the hope of helping to solve these difficulties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
